8、taining varnish is a solution,dispersion,or emulsion of apolymer or mixture of polymers in a volatile,nonreactableliquid.The solventless type is a liquid resin system free ofvolatile,nonreactable solvents.3.1.2For definitions of other terms pertaining to this testmethod,refer to Terminology D1711.4.
9、Significance and Use4.1 This test method determines the volatile organic contentof an electrical insulating varnish.It utilizes a procedure wheredishes containing a known amount of varnish are baked and theamount of volatile organic compound is measured.Calcula-tions are performed to express this in
10、 g/L or lb/gal.This testmethod is applicable to all types of varnishes.However,waterborne varnishes while baked under the same conditionsneed to have water content determined and calculations per-formed in accordance with Practice D3960.4.1.1 During the cure of electrical insulating varnishes someor
